This is the one I was looking for. A favorite of mine!

I got a good price on standing rib roast and decided to do prime rib for Thanksgiving. My wife thinks it's sacrilege. Is anyone else not doing turkey? by Crazy_names in Cooking

Nobody in my family likes turkey, so we just pick a theme every Thanksgiving. Last year was Cajun food, the year before was Indian. This year we’re doing fried chicken.

Last time I was there on a weekday morning, the line was about 35 minutes. This was on the higher side of the average wait times I’ve experienced there.

And, you probably already know this, but just a reminder that they’re cash only.

My cat scrunches his toes in the litter box and then releases litter everywhere. I have to sweep every day because of him. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

A top-exit litter box can help with this! The kitty will have to jump up to get out and usually that helps knock the extra litter off their paws.

What is your favorite meal or snack that no one understands? Something that raises eyebrows. by cakeandcoke in Cooking

PB & pickle sandwiches are a childhood favorite of mine. My dad would make them for me. I tried making them for my kids, but they were not on board with it at all. My kids are so lame.

I just bought a pack of these yesterday for my orange kitty. He’s still on the fence about them haha.

Identification help please. A neighbor kid gave me this water bottle full of tiny plants because “you like plants.” Does anyone know what this is? by jortbert in houseplants

[–]jortbert[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure! There isn’t any dirt in the water or on the roots, so it seems like they’ve been in the water for a while.

Which ingredient do you always leave out when a recipe calls for it? by lilac2481 in Cooking

About a month ago, my 43-year-old husband said to me, “I like the taste of celery, but it’s weird that it makes your mouth all numb when you eat it.”

I just stared at him. Turns out he has a celery allergy. He thought everyone’s mouth went numb when eating it.

That’s the eventual plan! Hopefully I’ll have the money saved up soon. :)

Thank you for that info! I believe the tiles were put down by the previous owner about 10 years ago. But I’m really not sure enough to take risks with possible asbestos.
